Backlog RNG is a new segment where I randomly pull games from my extensive backlog of games with the aid of an online RNG. For this first episode I pulled 2 titles that are not at all alike - Final Fight 2 that was a title only available for the SNES, and Night in the Woods that is available on just about every modern platform. One is an arcade beat em up, the other a narrative adventure with a bit of walking simulator elements. In this new segment I am aiming to experience some of these games that have been on my backlog forever and determining if I still would like to complete them or if I can safely remove any. Tune in to hear if the 2 I pulled today made the cut.

Since we are in the middle of the year and it is a holiday week in both Canada and the USA, I wanted to do a mid-year update for both my gaming shows, and this is the TTRPG update for Saving Throes! I go over the big game releases of the year so far, and also look forward at what is still technically scheduled to come this year, but who know how many of these titles will actually make it before December 31. I also review my New Year's resolutions and predictions from January to do a temperature check and see how it's going so far. Tune in to also hear how I plan to expand on one of my more favourite segments I sometimes do on the show.

Now that the year is exactly half done, I thought it would be a good idea to look back to all the resolutions I made in the New Year, and see how well I have done so far. Also to see if any of my predictions I made have come true yet? In addition to all of that, I wanted to do a temperature check for potential game of the year contenders so far. Not specifically the games I will nominate for my show, but for the media at large. There are still plenty of great games to come in the next 6 months, and doing this made me realize there is still a pretty big blank spot for confirmed releases in November and December, but I also see some notable games that don't have release dates yet. Tune in to hear how many of my predictions for this year have already come true!

Free RPG day is always a fun event for fans of TTRPGs. This year I noticed there was a lot of people out for it. I went to my local game store nice and early prior to open and was surprised to see a bit of a lineup already, and by the time the store opened, that lineup had grown quite a bit! On this week's episode I go over my experience with Free RPG day for this year, as well as my overall thoughts on what the offerings were like. Tune in to hear what my overall grade was for this year's annual event.

The latest video game book club episode is all about a small game from Hello Games that was released back in 2020. This one made an impression, but was small enough that I feel many players completely missed it, to their detriment. This game may be small but it certainly packs an emotional punch. It is a game that explores themes of hopelessness and loneliness, and somehow manages to make an effective video game out of that. I had long wanted to play this one but put it off for a long time until now, and I am glad I am able o share this one with you. Tune in to hear why I think this game is worth your time.

Gen Con is just 1 month and a week or so away. I got my schedule finalized back in May, but I had also kept my eye on the event catalogue in case anyone or anything of interest was added later, as it sometimes happens. However this year, nothing else caught my eye, so I thought now was a good time to go over what made the cut for my schedule this year, as the summer weather starts to set in. I was reasonable pleased with the events I was able to get but as usual, there were a couple I wished I could have also got, but such is life! Tune in to hear the games I will be playing and which ones I lament for not being able to get due to my place in the event wish list queue.

In the course of one week we got several Games Showcases events in the forms of Sony's State of Play, Summer Games Fest, Xbox Games Showcase and Konami's Press Start event. Between these 4 shows, we got a deluge of new game announcements, game updates and even some new hardware announcements. In this episode I am going to go over all the games that got announced and provide my thoughts on those that interested me the most. This year felt much closer to what E3 was like back in the day. Tune in to hear what games got added to my overall most anticipated games of the year list!

The Monster Overhaul was a third part supplement that I kept hearing about - how great it was, and how no DM should be without it. I ran across it at my local game store at some point last year, so I decided to give it a chance. I hadn't really opened it much for the first number of months, but once I finally got around to it, I was shocked at what I found. To call this a simple monster supplement really undersells what this book actually is. It is much more of a DMs toolkit for running monsters that feel truly a part of the world you are running in. I had some lofty expectations from this book based on all the hype it had been getting - tune in to see if it met my expectations after having read through it.
